My friends at Box of Style sent me an extra box so I could share this Spring Box of Style with one lucky reader! Entry is super easy. Just follow the link below and you can choose how you’d like to enter. One lucky person will be chosen at random to win this fabulous spring box! Good luck!

I recently received a trunk from Trunk Club with some spring finds. I collaborated with them last spring, and loved my experience so much, that I decided to try them again (this isn’t sponsored). The thing that I love about Trunk Club (or any other subscription clothing box) is that you get to try things you likely wouldn’t pick for yourself. I’ve tried jumpsuits in the past, but I just never found one that was very flattering.

I love accessories. After nearly three months in CA, I finally unpacked everything last weekend and I forgot just how many accessories I own. Sunglasses make up the majority of my accessory collection, but I also own a ton of necklaces, earrings and bracelets.

A year ago, when I first started thinking about moving back to southern California, LA wasn’t really high on my list. I always thought I’d end up in San Diego. Then I started spending time in LA and quickly realized just how much it has to offer. Although I still adore San Diego, for me, LA is more. A recent day trip to explore the Venice Canals and Abbot Kinney confirmed my love for my new home.

Last month, I asked you all what you wanted to see more from me. Several of you mentioned you wanted to see more of my casual, everyday style. So here you go. This is a standard look I would wear basically every day. This grey moto jacket is a staple I’ve had in my wardrobe for a couple years now. I throw it on anytime I want to look a bit more put together, but still casual chic.

Since I couldn’t be at fashion week this February, I wanted to at least reminisce about my last time there. Last year, I was lucky enough to attend in both February and September. I hope I’ll get to go back this September, as I miss NY like crazy and the energy of Fashion Week is un-matched. Since I didn’t go this time, I decided to shoot a look wearing this wool and leather jacket I bought at a sample sale last year while attending.

Valentine’s day is right around the corner. So, I wanted to give away some of my favorite beauty products to one of you lovely ladies! Instead of thinking about Valentine’s Day as just a day for your significant other, I now think about it a day for self love. With that in mind, here is my little “Galentine’s Day” giveaway so you can pamper yourself just a little.

My mantra this year is to Be Brave. So here I am, being brave and posting swimsuit photos, something I never thought I’d do. Part of being brave for me means embracing this beautiful and flawed body of mine. I’ve also found that when I’m more open with my readers about my own insecurities, they feel more connected and I do too. Being curvier and not having the perfect body doesn’t mean you can’t still look super cute in a suit.

Last week, I was in Boston for work. It’s very rare that I have several nights in a row to myself, so I hardly knew what to do with myself. I can only watch bad TV for so long. A few days before I left, I was scrolling through my suggestions on IG and I found some really cool custom nail art. Upon further inspection, I learned the nail artist was actually located in Boston.
